Your Call: Are kids and teens being exploited online?

On today's Your Call, we’ll talk about how advertisers target young people on the internet. Millennials are spending more time than ever on their digital devices - for social connection, communication, entertainment, and even schoolwork. And advertisers are taking advantage of this. The nonprofit group, Common Sense Media, says “Helping kids understand how advertising works can help protect them from being exploited.” What else do young people need to know while they’re online? Join the conversation on the next Your Call with Holly Kernan and You.
